Chapter 33 Gift Giving-The Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

Those days the three of us in Yinchuan play all over, eat hump food to buy brand-name clothes, shopping consumption want to buy what to buy, Xiaoxuan bought several pieces of handmade Hui clothes, bean sprouts bought a few bottles of very expensive Chinese wolfberry wine, I asked the bean sprouts to buy what you do at a young age. Bean sprout boy said with a smile, “Ningxia wolfberry is the country’s best wolfberry, I bought this wine boss said that each one is the king of wolfberry, a top ten, I’m preparing for the future marriage ah.”

There were two places I was impressed with.

We played in the Tengger Shapotou sandboarding, I do not know if there is still, sandboarding is two or three people sitting on a wooden board, and then from the sand slope down, very exciting. Another place is the Northwest Film and Television Base, we went up to play on the wall, that is, in the movie Journey to the West, the Supreme Treasure and the Zixia Fairy meet that earth wall.

Played a few days, I went back to see the head is still studying the sheepskin map, so I asked: “head you wrote so many things on the paper, research out what?”

Put the head will be a dozen pieces of white paper folded up, shaking his head and said: “Too difficult, I went to the Yinchuan Museum the day before yesterday, copied a word on the parchment map with an associate researcher to ask for advice, the results ….. He also did not recognize.”

“Specialized class of people also do not recognize?” I was a little surprised, this kind of local museum class researchers are many big brothers, they have a solid foundation of local history research, the Xixia text is very difficult to recognize, but there should be a small number of people recognize it.

“Yes,” sighed the head of the handle, “that researcher’s surname is Ma, and he shook his head straight when he read the words I copied, saying that this is a special type of writing in the Xixia language, similar to Gongwen, and is only used by a small circle of Dangkang people’s noble princes, and that it is now very difficult to translate.”

“Gongwen? Was it also made by Noori Eiren of the Western Xia?” I know it was this guy named Noori Eiren who made over 6,000 Western Xia characters in the first place.

As he was talking, Bean Sprout Boy entered the room with a drink.

“What are you chatting about put-head, try the king of wolfberry wine I bought, it’s a great tonic!” Bean Sprout Boy grinned and poured a small cup for the handle head.

“Yunfeng you kid try some too,” Bean Sprout Boy poured me half a cup as well.

The head of the handle looked much more relaxed, took a small sip and said good wine, the flavor of medicine is quite sufficient.

“Handlehead, do you mean we can’t recognize the Western Xia writing on the sheepskin?” I asked.

“There’s no hint of it for now,” Putting the head down his glass, he said, “But there are hidden tigers and dragons in the domestic literature and history world, since Noori Eiren was able to create this kind of text in the beginning, I’m sure that there are people who can translate it nowadays as well.”

The subject came up to this man who made the Xixia text.

This is more than seven hundred years ago Noli Eiren is a ghost, when Yuan Hao claimed the throne of Western Xia is still using Chinese language, Yuan Hao ambition wants to do merit, so he ordered the minister Noli Eiren to create a kind of belong to the Western Xia’s own script.

Noli Rongren with a large group of readers day and night proofreading, after more than two years of struggle, finally in the Han script on the basis of the creation of the Xixia language. Yuan Hao’s request to him at first was: “Aiqing, I want to make our own script high,, unique, so that Song Dynasty people and Jin Dynasty people can recognize it as our Xixia script at a glance.”

Noli Rongren fell out of hair to meet the Yuan Hao requirements, and finally this created a wide range of characters strokes difficult to write, if put aside to the present, let the children use the Xixia language to write a name of their own, it is estimated that look at a glance can be scared to cry.

In addition to inventing this Xixia script for all people, Noori Eigen also invented an additional Xixia script for the nobles, with a different version of characters and meanings, which is considered a Xixia pro version.

No one specializes in this stuff these days. It all looks like ghost writing.

The next morning the head of the handle found me and said, “How’s everything prepared Yunfeng, we’ve had enough fun, let’s go back to the Hutt Department and send the stuff over to Aji and the others.”

“All set ah put the head, but that generator is a bit heavy.”

“It’s fine, I’ve spoken to Mr. Shang and he’s promised to lend us a few good camels. If there’s nothing else, go get the camels back this afternoon, and we’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Well le, oh yes, there is another thing,” I almost walked to the door when I turned my head and asked: “We those things …..”

Squinting the head, he said, “Bring it on.”

A few of us went to the camel park to take a few camels. Xiao Xuan had the heart, she bought a whole bunch of snacks for kids at the supermarket and filled up two snakeskin bags, which were all gifts to bring to the Hutu kids.

After a night’s rest, the generator doll snack toys were loaded onto the camels in the morning and we moved off about 9am.

I was going to call on the guide Old Zhang, but the head of the handle said that there was no need to call him, the route should be remembered more or less the same, and the people from the Hutt Department were waiting for us, so they shouldn’t be relocated for a while.

I actually knew it in my heart, but I didn’t ask much.
